Try that bone on another dog, said the landlord; as if I did not know how many make five, and where my shoe pinches me; don't think to feed me with pap, for by God I am no fool.
Basketball originated in 1891 when a future Presbyterian minister named James Naismith (1861-1939) was assigned to teach a physical education class at a Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) training school in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The actual start of the game of basketball began on January 26th, 1 â¦ 892 when Naismith wrote the rules of basketball. The name was derived by the fact that the goals were actually peach baskets and the object was to put the ball in the basket.
